I'm running a D&D encounter at my library's comic con event and want to have something that's doable in about 30-45 minutes. I'm looking at just an encounter so people who haven't played before can get a taste of what combat is like. I really liked playing the frozen sick with my group and the frogs were a really fun encounter so I thought that would be good to use. What I'm wondering is, are the frogs enough? Should I do more of the cave? I'll be the only table during the event and this will be the only encounter option which is why the 30-45 minute time limit is firm. We want to have as many people play as want to, but I want to make sure the encounter is enough to interest people. Any thoughts?
In a 30-45 minute period with novice players you'll be stressed to accomplish a single encounter, let alone more than one, so I wouldn't plan on more than one room, though you might want to prepare a bit more just in case.
